it seems like every one i know and their uncles are married or engaged. i know its about that time, im 23 and most of my friends are early 20 so. so it makes sense. its just so overwhelmingly EVERY ONE.
dan moved into his place in the city. its fabulous. im slightly jelous. its a great location. and its nice. and .. well, it all seems to be looking like it will turn out to be a very nice internship for him. and thats good.
we are just about half way into homecoming week. god the crazyness. this year the theme is under the sea, and in retrospect, i hardly see the point of homecoming. yeah the idea is that the alumni come back, but why the heck do the current students care? because as alumni, i sure as heck dont. Sure ill be at the football game. but the theme of that is football. so.
its just an excuse to have a week of crazyness. which, by the way, is hell for teachers.
it is currently 64 degrees in my classroom, 59 degrees outside, and im wearing cotton and flip flops. hawaiian day and all.
I M SO COLD>
i know im the evilest teacher inthe world, but my sophs have a test tomorrow (its homecoming week!) and my frosh have one friday (its hOMECOMING week!) gosh that doesnt even make me feel a little bit bad. wow.:) i am positively mean.
hahaaaa!
i think this cold air has seeped into my brain. im out yo.

i thought it was called homecomming just because it was supposed to be the biggest home game of the season... but i know nothing about football except that it sucks. i also never went to a homecomming dance, so there you go.
i never, in a million years, would have guessed it had anything to do with alumni.
by the way, that note was mine [chalyx]
Tree,
Your use of "alumni" was incorrect. You said "as alumni, I . . ." Alumni is plural. The correct usage would have been "as an alumna, I . . ." The singular masculine of the word is "alumnus," the feminine "alumna"--just thought I'd be a smartass and pass that along.
Forsooth, I believe homecoming was a bigger deal in the distant past when the alumni made contributions to the school (whether highschool or college). Today, Big Brother takes care of that (at least, at highschools), so it is really an irrelevant event. Though perhaps it could be venerated as a vestigial tradition . . .
